Some person clearly does not have a desk job...Most of those sounds are still around. The computer beep sound will be with all pc's forever as its the post boot sound checking all hardware. Please do some homework AC?

You'll have to pry my clicky keyboard out from under my cold, dead fingers. I seriously HATE mushy keys.

I guess the "clicky-board" reffers to the keyboards IBM made which had extra clicking sounds when you pressed the keys. This was made for the old persons working with the old typing machines so they wouldn't wonder if they pressed or not.
